The Gorgostone

by jediknigh5

6000 years ago, two armies fought for control of an area. One side tried to enlist Gorgos to help them destroy their enemies. But Gorgos could not be controlled, he ravaged the land. The two armies had to join forces to defeat him. They were able to contain Gorgos in a stone, and spit the stone into five pieces. What happened to those stones, therein lies our tale.

Chapter 6

.

Jihlem and Share continued on their journey to Mystera. They had grown up hearing legends about Trogolodites on the border. How the Trogoodites attacked settlements and slaughtered people on the border. They hoped that this was merely legend, something the Harpers made up to frighten people into avoiding Mystera. But now they feared the legends were true. Finally, they made it near the border, but by this point Dax and the Harpers were guarding this border. The border wasn't hard to see, the beautiful trees just stopped, and then there was the desert. The truce between the Harpers and the Trogolodites allowed the trogolodites to grant asylum to any refugees who successfully made it across the border, but they had to make it on their own. It was now or never, no time for some clever plan. Jihlem and Share just had to run as fast as they could, and hope they made it before they were caught. As they ran, Dax quickly saw them, and told the Harpers to give chase. They could hear the trogolodites cheering the refugees on. They seemed to want Jihlem and Share to succeed, but they didn't do anything to actually help them. It was close, but in the end they made it to safety. The trogolodites looked surprisingly human, and they welcomed Share and Jihlem to Mystera. The Harpers were upset about this loss, but there was nothing they could do, the refugees were safely out of their jurisdiction, at least for now.
